I felt like I was just correcting mathematical errors, perhaps this method will improve my scrutiny over time but it is hard to tell from one problem set.Students were similarly neutral to positive in their comments at the end of the semester, thoughfar fewer focused on the mechanics of working through the self-revision process. Most studentsfocused their comments instead on the outcomes of the process: The self-revised method reduced study time and helped me work through my thought process on mistakes, helping me to solidify how to overcome those particular problems. I was better able to reflect on my mistakes using this method. This is because, for the regular problem sets, I rarely look at

This would be to the benefit of both faculty and students as it wouldreduce the burden on faculty to provide feedback to all students in a large group while alsoincreasing the feedback and timeliness of the feedback that students receive. Arguably for anassessment mechanism the most important factors considered are the reliability and validityof the assessment tool. The validity of ACJ refers to the validity of the rank-order that isproduced and is directly tied to the cohort of judges which is assembled [18]. The reliabilityof ACJ sessions is described by the Scale Separation Reliability (SSR) coefficient which, inthe context of comparative judgement, has strong indications that it reflects an

Lower performing students who were randomly assigned, orpurposefully grouped with higher performing students based on previous performance, typicallyearned higher grades on the group assignment than other events in the course. However, theincreased grade in these cases did not consistently reflect improved individual performance.Keywords: team grading; team-based learning; team selection; group projects; assessment1.

Simple exposure to adiverse environment in the classroom does not fully prepare students to succeed in a similar real-world environment.In order to best prepare students for post-graduation roles, we must incorporate DEI into ourcurriculum. Education in these issues promotes their awareness of the topic and allows them toexplore their own implicit bias in a safe environment. Practicing our teaching with similarthought, we must assess the student outcomes in a manner which is reflective of our ownunderstanding of these issues and aims to minimize performance gaps due to disparities betweenstudents.Systems Engineering is an ideal platform to promote student awareness of global inequities inthe world as well as explore

This patternstayed relatively constant across instructors and the three sets of observations and reflectsPOGIL principles, which might be an indicant to construct validity.These preliminary findings were reflected in the student ratings. While ratings of the difficultyand length of POGIL and non-POGIL classes were similar (3.8 vs 4.0 on a scale of 1 “too easy”to 7 “too hard”; 4.0 vs 4.1 on a scale of 1 “too long” to 7 “too short”), students were much moreapt to rate the POGIL classes as more collaborative (5.8 vs 4.9), another POGIL principle.

The importance of CT is reflected in the growing interest in exploringits potential role in various fields, including engineering. While CT in engineering education hasbeen discussed in previous research, there needs to be more understanding of how CT may differin the context of different engineering disciplines. Rich qualitative research on how studentsengage in CT and engineering can show how they can support each other [5].

This study analyses the outcome of students’ performance interms of the knowledge highlighted in their mind maps and the application in their exams.Finally, instructors conducted a survey to inquire students about their perception about therole mind mapping plays in their learning and course performance.
